Welcome Back!

September 29, 2020 RaptorResource

Welcome back, everyone! We will be turning on cameras at the Decorah and Decorah North nests on Monday, October 5, at noon central time. Our Decorah moderators will be celebrating with a special one-hour chat to launch the new season. We hope you can join us at our website: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-eagles/ and https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-north-nest/ or at explore.org. I think you are going to love John’s new cameras and microphones! We look forward to seeing you!

Eaglets D27, D36, and D36 all phone home!

Where are our eaglets? D27, D35, and D36 all sent postcards this week! Here is what we know… D35 is still enjoying east central Minnesota, although she has made her way a little south from Princeton/Cambridge to the Elk River area, passing within a mile of our Great River Energy peregrine falcon nestbox. Breezy and Brooklyn could have easily seen her from their vantage point high atop the new nest pole! Unsurprisingly, she’s also spent some time at the large

September 22, 2020: Time for camera work!

September 22, 2020 RaptorResource

It’s September! The eaglets have fledged and our eagle Moms and Dads are at their lowest point of attachment to their nests, which makes it the perfect time for camera work. We don’t have a cam turn-on date yet (although I will post as soon as we do!), but here is a rough outline of our tasks: At N2B: We’ll be replacing three cameras and two microphones at N2B, cleaning everything up, and doing a little trimming around the nest

September 5, 2020: Day Trip to Decorah

September 12, 2020 Robin Brumm

Story and photos by Robin Brumm I got up at Dark O’clock to head to Decorah. It had been a week since the camera went down and I wanted to see if D36 was still around, and I was going to meet a friend there. When I got to the hatchery, Mom was on the new maple tree. My friend said she had heard squeeing and saw a juvie fly to the southwest before I got there, but she wasn’t

September 10, 2020 RaptorResource

Missing the Decorah and Decorah North eagles? We hope to have them back in early October, but in the meantime, we invite you to hop over to the Mississippi Flyway! Migration has begun and we are seeing all sorts of interesting birds. You can perch – there are plenty of snags! – or join our Flyway chat from 11-2 CT on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

Three eagles phone home!

September 1, 2020 RaptorResource

We have your postcards! D27 left the north and arrived back in Decorah on August 29, passing within .20 miles of her natal nest! If you check the maps, you’ll see that she spent a little time near a favorite outdoor school spot/perching place for the Decorah Eagles this summer. Was she close to D36? Not especially! Our little homebody took a trip up to Bluffton, Iowa, in the late afternoon. By the time D27 arrived, D36 was gone! Still,
